Chapter 24 - Pulse-opening and Meta-developing (2/2)

Bai Ziyue gritted his teeth and said.

“Alright then. Uncle Zhong!”

Mu Feng called for Mu Zhong. After a short while, Mu Zhong walked out from the corner of the living room with a branding iron in his hand.

“Take off your clothes! Soon, I’ll be teaching you cultivation methods from the Mu family, and since you’re not a Mu family member, according to our family’s tradition, you’ll have to be marked with our family’s symbol. If there comes a day where you reveal our cultivation methods to others, bear in mind that you’ll be hunted down by the Mu family!”

Mu Feng said.

A blue-colored Meta-fire lit up in Mu Zhong’s palm and he heated the iron until it was hot-red.

Without hesitating, Bai Ziyue took off his clothes.

Mu Zhong then pressed red-hot iron down onto Bai Ziyue’s arm.

Sizzle!

A gush of white-colored smoke rose up and Bai Ziyue gritted his teeth in pain. His body trembled slightly, but he didn’t make a sound and endured the pain with strong willpower.

After a while, Mu Zhong removed the hot iron, revealing an ancient Chinese character — Mu, on Bai Ziyue’s arm.

After that, Mu Zhong stood in front of Bai Ziyue and placed his palm on his head. A gush of white-colored Meta-power with no attributes started to channel into Bai Ziyue’s body.

“Umph……”

Bai Ziyue groaned softly. Shortly after that, the Meta-power started flowing into one of the Meta-pulses in his body.

Upon seeing this scene, Mu Zhong quickly covered his ears.

“Ah…!”

Bai Ziyue screamed in pain as he instantly felt a sharp pain coming from his body.

To one’s astonishment, Mu Zhong’s Meta-power was actually opening up his first Meta-pulse. It was the pain that came from the forceful opening of his Meta-pulse that made Bai Ziyue scream in pain.

This was known as Pulse-opening and Meta-developing!

In most families, a Ning Gang level cultivator or above would forcefully open up one’s Meta-pulse and channel some of their own Meta-power into it.

With the aid of this Meta-power, a cultivator could cultivate their own Vitality much faster and open up the rest of their Meta-pulse themselves.

Of course, this method could only be applicable if there was a cultivator who was willing to help.

A cultivator could also open up his first Meta-pulse on his own without any aid, but the process would take a much longer time.

As for the remaining Meta-pulses, they could only be opened by the cultivator himself, because if the same method was used, the Meta-pulses would be crushed instead.

The first Meta-pulse in Bai Ziyue’s body was like a clogged pipe that was forcefully unclogged by a gush of white-colored Meta-power. This Meta-power remained in the Meta-pulse after it was opened up.

Bai Ziyue spat out a mouthful of black-colored blood. It was full of impurities from inside his Meta-pulse.

After a while, Bai Ziyue opened his eyes and felt a warm stream of energy circulating inside him, which was actually quite comfortable.

Suddenly, just as Mu Zhong was about to stop channeling his Meta-power, something weird happened!

A suction force appeared in Bai Ziyue’s body, and he continued to absorb Mu Zhong’s Meta-power!

Mu Zhong’s expression changed and he immediately pulled his hand back. However, Bai Ziyue’s first Meta-pulse was already filled with Mu Zhong’s Meta-power!

“Wh-what on earth…”

Mu Zhong stared at Bai Ziyue in horror, causing Bai Ziyue to freak out and back up a few steps. He then wore back his clothes and looked at Mu Zhong vigilantly.

He couldn’t possibly be interested in me, right?

Bai Ziyue scanned at Mu Zhong from head to toe and thought to himself. A weird feeling then rushed through his body.
